House of Mystery Halloween Annual to feature ‘Lucifer’ story by Carey, Gross

Over on the Vertigo blog, Pamela Mullin shares some news that was revealed this weekend in San Diego — the line-up for October’s House of Mystery Halloween Annual:

To start it off, Matt Sturges and Luca Rossi introduce a group of eternal trick-or-treaters who will make there way through new Lucifer story by Mike Carey and artist Peter Gross, Madame Xanadu by Mike Kaluta and artist Jill Thompson, izombie by Chris Roberson and artist Mike Allred, and Hellblazer by Peter Milligan and artist Guiseppe Cumoncoli.

It’s been four years since the Sandman spin-off series Lucifer ended; it should be fun to see Carey and Gross return to those characters. I’m also all in for the Kaluta/Thompson pairing on Madame Xanadu.
